Females aren’t in any better of a situation. Mental health support funding is non existent and fucking me over right now :(

No insurance. I’ve been off my meds for about 8 months now, and I’m pretty sure I’m going to kill myself. Would love to get help, but I live in the south in the US. So if u say anything, they just put me in holding for 48 hours, and I have to lie the entire time to get out.

I just need meds and someone to talk to. I don’t feel like I’m asking a whole lot.

I’m assuming you’re exaggerating because you’re frustrated by the tough situation, but no they definitely don’t hold you for saying something like that. It’s unironically a luxury to get locked up. I’ve definitely been in a deep hole and have been where you are, and in a red state it’s extra bad. Still battling with it, but the first step is finding a job with any sort of insurance and going to see a general doctor for meds. No, they won’t lock you up, and they don’t want to lock you up until you’re in physical danger to yourself or others.
